Nonetheless, it was not our objective to use mortality data as an indicator of prevalence.
As the prevalence of individual organisms did not show extreme variations between studies, we combined the data across studies to provide an approximate indicator of prevalence across studies.
Direct comparison of international prevalence for low socioeconomic populations was limited; however studies that have included deprivation as an indicator of prevalence show that as deprivation increases the prevalence of anti-depressants increases also [ 11].
Age and origin of animals were good indicators of TB prevalence in slaughtered pigs in the study areas (Table 2).
(3) Did indicators of smoking prevalence decrease and quit ratios increase in Guangzhou after the legislation was implemented?
Similarly, a multivariate model of HIV prevalence was conducted adjusting for the 6 additional variables that were previously found to be significant (p < 0.05) indicators of HIV prevalence.
Since we performed the analysis on samples collected directly from the lesions, the indicators of species prevalence reported here might be more accurate than those published before.
For this kind of cross-sectional design, we classically assign a sampling weight to each individual to estimate the epidemiological indicators of interest (prevalence, odds ratio etc). in the target population.
Enteric E.coli from healthy animals is therefore recommended as indicators for prevalence of resistance in animal populations [ 11] and used in several monitoring programs.
